You can always turn it into a potato, but you’d have to rotoscope Matt Damon into the Geonosis scenes though. That color grade should match Mars nicely 😉

In all honesty though, if you want collaboration, you’d need to post not only anecdotals of your changes, but also a complete draft of number bulleted edits. Once you do that a real dialogue about direction can occur.

Hi Olobby,

Welcome! Could you share your cut list and/or your ideas of what you will change?

Sorry, for some reason it keeps double posting.

Well, I’d love to help you out more, but each crawl takes a few hours to render. You can change the time positions of the key frames to extend the crawl.

Jackpumpkinhead made a revisited version that more closely aligns with Adywan’s.

In trying to release my edit, I’ve had many kind reviewers that have asked “why not…” questions and I just can’t ignore them. They aren’t huge requests, but they are valid and in order to present the best product, I feel that I should try a little harder to obtain or create these requests.

Is there anyone who has or knows someone who has a really good Kylo Ren cosplay outfit that could green screen some shots for me to use in the interrogation scene. I basically need shots to rotoscope over the top of Adam Driver, or his face at least. If you have the goods or know someone who could help. Please post or PM me. Thanks!

I’ve received some good feedback from previewers and will be implementing some additional fixes based on the feedback.

Also, I’m really wanting to implement my idea for a Kylo Ren Force vision, but I’m not able to get it just right. The idea is to mirror the look of Anakin’s vision from Ep III. This Force vision will help to better establish Kylo Ren’s struggle with the force. We hear Snoke’s lines as well as echoed lines from Luke where he is trying to persuade Vader to come back to the light.

Some users asked that I put a shadow over his face so version 2 has that along with different imagery and some light ray effects and a slight yellowing grade.

Would love some feedback on them and also some assistance if anyone is able and willing. Thanks!

Double post sorry

Well, I find that any form of preservation and making available for others only increases the likelihood of others finding and using it. Too bad I don’t have a way to ween my way into the spleen. I’m sure I miss out on some sweet content.

Congratulations Mr. Pumpkinhead! PM sent

^Awesome! 😃

If you look, he’s wearing his hood, and possibly his mask too. It would be kind of difficult to reimplement seamlessly. It doesn’t really fit the mood or situation either. Just my two cents.

Thanks ImperialFighter! PM sent 😃

I’ve updated the first post with the new poster, banner, BR case art, remastered trailer link, and edit list for those who are interested.

Lots of updates have occurred since I posted here last. New Title (Heir to the Force), new crawl, new cuts, and most importantly, new preview file. I’m looking to release this week and I’m hoping to receive final critiques before submission over at fanedit.org. 4gb 720p and 10gb 1080p stereo versions will be available to stream or DL upon request. PM me if you’d like to view the edit. Thanks

Well I would assume my post was in relation to the project screening. To clarify, it was an offer if sheepish wanted any additional feedback.

I have eyes to view a preview this weekend.

It was created in 3DSMax. The ESB crawl was made a few years ago , but just recently decided to render the ANH & ROTJ crawls as these will be unchanged in their text. I doubt it’s the same Andreas as he would have already had the project template to make his own crawl if he needed to

Hello Adywan! It’s great to be able to say that I had a direct communication with you. I love your Revisited work 😃

Those crawls look fantastic and much better than the results of my current template. I thought Andreas (the one I know) found a way to make it better and that perhaps I had some connection to ESB:R. I suppose I can still dream 😉 Now I have a new gold standard for my future template upgrade(s). Thanks for the response. Hope you are well!

I’m pretty sure most any idea any fan editor has is based on interpretation of source material they do not own or thought up themselves. It is also somewhat arrogant to think that one’s ideas are existentially unique to themselves. Sure the synaptics and idiosyncrasies of the idea are unique, but is there really a completely original expression? Perhaps those who think otherwise are taking themselves a tad bit too seriously?

I may have to try that, unless somebody else makes or has made a custom Backstroke of the West opening crawl.
Either way, it needs to happen.

If you post the text of the crawl that you want, I can make the crawl for you.

How could he not be done if he’s already done the crawl for Jedi?!

EXACTLY.

Crawls are pretty easy compared to the other 99% of the film Adywan and the team are working on. Finishing the crawls was probably to have some accomplishment during the intense editing and vfx work.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we get an entire trilogy with a 720p ep IV when the release happens though. All in good time, all in good time.

This is something i wanted to redo when i did ANH:Revisited, but just couldn’t achieve it at the time. But now, thanks to our CG guy Andreas, it is now possible to have all of the Revisited crawls match each other. Now the speeds and placements match completely.

Out of curiosity, do you know what method Andreas used to make the crawls? I only ask because I just made one for Andreas not too long ago, assuming we are talking about the same Andreas.

Edit sorry, meant to add to previous post.

Could someone create a star wars opening crawl with these words? I would really appreciate it. :
Episode VI
RETURN OF THE JEDI

Luke Skywalker has returned to Dagobah to complete his training. Meanwhile, Lando Calrissian has infiltrated the palace of Jabba the Hutt, preparing to rescue Han Solo.

Little does Luke know that the GALACTIC EMPIRE has secretly begun construction on a new armored space station even more powerful than the first Death Star.

When completed, this ultimate weapon will spell certain doom for the small band of rebels struggling to restore freedom to the galaxy…

I made this custom crawl blender template not too long ago. Feel free to use it.

Would love your help putting Kylo Ren’s helmet back on his head during the interrogation scene and second scene with Snoke for my TFA edit.

There’s also a scene with Artoo, BB8 and 3PO that I could use assistance on.

Thanks ForceGhostRecon. That’s actually the one I was referring to. It’s close, but I’d need to work on the image as it warbles quite a bit.

I agree with you that the scene is great at bringing a new dynamic to his character. Interestingly, JJ says in the bonus feature the that Han and Leia were off doing their Republic duties and Ben was often alone implying that Han wasn’t around much when he was young. The script even points out they Han was astonished when Kylo took off his mask and he saw his sons face for the first time as a man. I’d like to think that they shared time together in his youth as it makes this scene a hopeful one, as you point out.

Thanks again OT Fan 😃

As far as I have seen, that project has come to a halt. While the attempt is/was phenomenal, there were some technicalities in it that would need to be fixed first if it were to be used. With teaching and school starting up, I won’t have the time or energy to attempt painting out the timestamp myself either.

As for the cropped version, the only scene that bothers me is the one where he first approaches the cockpit and removes his hood. That one is a bit too zoomed, but I can’t pull it back due to the timestamp.

His placement in the frames could actually imply a forward movement to the right, which coincides with the movement of the x-wings entering starkiller base orbit prior and approaching the oscillator after the scene.

I may be able to paint out the time stamp on scenes that have fairly simple backgrounds, but most likely will have this version.

I’ve since flip flopped on inserting deleted scenes, the Falcon one specifically. I actually like how it distances Kylo from Han. Each time he calls him “Han Solo” It implies a closeness, but also a third party familiarity which serves the purpose of this particular edit. Here’s the draft of the deleted scene reinstated.
